Not sure... maybe by getting all tokens of a processinstance and check whether one of them is locked. But instead of focussing on this 'problem' of getting info about running instances (running instances btw are process instances that are started and not suspended and not ended, not necessarily ones where an action is active like you say yourself). What is the real underlying issue? (not in technical terms, but in business terms) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4189038#...
